Last night I had 3 heaping loads of clean laundry lurking in my room so I gathered the family and organized a ‘family folding party.’ Loads and loads of fun. Napless Zeth had been up playing with friends all day and was as cranky as he could be until suddenly Zana provided distracting entertainment by putting some of Zeth’s underware on her head and declared herself ‘Unda Girl’. Sadly no picture, she’ll thank me for that later. The only difference between folding laundry and having a laundry party is attitude and happily last night it worked.
For April Fools Day this year a couple of my friends and I dressed up for a ball – at work all day. I claimed the title of Ms. Tahiti Black Pearl. It was fun to pull out most of my black pearl collection and just give them all some fresh air time. I just can’t pass on an opportunity to dress up for a good cause.

When we had smallish kids (actually about the same age as yours) I would have "folding parties" all the time. I'd get my fancy silver platter that we NEVER used, put dixie cups of lemonade on it, and we'd set it in the bedroom and dump all the laundry out on the bed. Every few minutes we'd take a break to "party" and drink a few sips of our beverage. So fancy!
It worked for a few years, but then one day they said "mommy, folding laundry isn't a party!"
Oh well, fun while it lasted :-)
